Useless adviceAs a new parent, people seem to think it's OK to pass on any and every old wives tale possible. "Don't hug him too much". What? Quite what possesses people to pass on baseless, idiotic, useless advice I don't know.
That said, I quite often give car drivers directions and then, after they've moved off, realise that I've sent them down a bike-only route, so I can give as good as I get.
What useless advice have you been given (or handed out) recently?

ususally a parent or gf"where did you leave it?" or "where did you last see it?"
well, surely common sense says that if i knew the answer to those questions, i would be able to find said item.

Big Safeway's lorry pulls up next to me.
"scuse me mate could you tell me 'ow to get t' safeways 'ere?"
I dutifully tell him to go to the traffic lights, then turn left, the right into safeways.
Only realised when he'd gone that`the big fuck off lorry he was driving in a small market town had just been directed to the public car park down a very narrow street only big enough for 2 cars to go down. he wanted the drop off point somewhere else, i knew where it was im just a bit stupid.
Needless to say i pissed off before any evidence could be held against me for being the bloke who blocked up all the traffic in Malton for 3 hours.
Also people who say you can do whatever you want if you put yor mind to it. As Stelios says
" The easiest way to make a lot of money is to have a rich dad"

Also, trying to explain to anyone who doesnrt have a sense of humour/german or french how Im SOrry I Havent A CLue works. Esp mornington Crescent
